Miss Yip is out of the way for us but we returned to her new place yet again and it was as good as we remembered. I would have given it 5 stars for the exception of the new busboy who forgot a few items. I did not give the address and it is 900 Biscayne Blvd and very nice.. More

Used to love Miss Yip. Took me 1 hour to get food and was literally leaving when it came. The food was flavorless, goofy, and had one morsel of chicken in it. Will never be back! More

This South Beach fixture closed its Meridian Avenue location and moved to a much smaller one directly on Lincoln Road. I used to go for their outstanding dumplings 3-4 times a week when on vacation. Unfortunately, they changed their entire way of doing things and the dumplings and the rest of the menu are not very good. The serving staff... More

I think the food is really authentic Chinese and I would highly recommend Chinese visitors come here to taste home flavor. Of course, it follows the high rate of Miami beach! More

If this is representative of Chinese food in Miami, then I pity you! Expensive rubbish, just to trap the tourists. 2 soups, 2 main course (no rice) 2 beers - $100 RIP OFF! More

Based on a few things we have read we decided to go to this place. Besides the servings being rather large there is really nothing positive to say .... And then, do we really want large servings that are at best ok.?? So then just skip the place. More

I'm surprised this restaurant is still in business, given the miserable reviews. I only wish I had read the reviews before going! My friend insisted on going here our first night in Miami Beach, as her sister and a friend had eaten at Miss Yip several times on a previous trip and raved about it. We were not so fortunate....

We saw a write up in Wallpaper travel book and after being in Mexico for 2 weeks felt like a change..dim sum, great idea. Firstly it has moved so don't go to the one on Lincoln. Arrived and the place was empty. Our waiter was trying so hard it was a little uncomfortable but at least he was trying. The... More

We love chinese food and this place was highly recommended by Lonely Planet. My advice, skip it. The only good part of the meal was the spring rolls. The General Tso's, chicken in black bean sauce, and pork dumplings were bland at best. This place might have been great years ago but not so anymore. The bill was expensive too... More
